Restoration crews at the Woolworth Building are preparing the back-wall parapet for fresh stucco application. This process involves careful sheathing work to ensure the historic profile is both structurally reinforced and visually accurate. Once complete, the stucco will cover the building’s back wall, reintroducing its authentic 1928 appearance.
